M83 to Score Tom Cruise Film, Oblivion

Anthony Gonzalez of M83 fame has his next big project lined up—a movie score for the sci-fi flick Oblivion. Gonzalez told The Playlist, “I’ve wanted to do soundtracks for so long, and starting with such an ambitious project, especially in the sci-fi category, means a lot to me.”

Director Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) is no stranger to M83; he’s also a longtime fan. “I was listening to his music back in 2005 when I first wrote this story, so he was part of this from the very beginning in my mind,” Kosinksi told The Playlist.

Oblivion stars Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, a drone repairmen whose life quickly spirals out of control after saving a mysterious stranger. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world.
